Actionable Messages Outlook + Power automate

Hi,
 

I'm trying to migrate Outlook Actionable Messages from EAT tokens to Microsoft Entra authentication and I'm running into a very strange issue.

My setup is as follows:


  • Actionable Message Provider registered in the Outlook Actionable Messages Dashboard

  • Provider status = Approved

  • Sender address matches the registered sender address

  • App Registration created in Microsoft Entra ID

  • Expose an API configured

  • Application ID URI configured

  • Scope created

  • Authorized Client Applications configured

  • Adaptive Card sent from Power Automate

  • Action endpoint uses a Power Automate "When an HTTP request is received" flow

  • Flow trigger is configured with Who can trigger the flow = Anyone

  •  

The behavior is extremely inconsistent:

 

Scenario 1 - No originator

If I send an Adaptive Card without an originator:

 

{
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.0",
  "body": [
    {
      "type": "TextBlock",
      "text": "Hello World"
    }
  ],
  "actions": [
    {
      "type": "Action.Http",
      "title": "Click me",
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "https://default311..."
    }
  ]
}

then:

  • Action.Http works
  • Request reaches Power Automate 
  • Outlook generates a valid non-zero connectorSenderGuid
However, the card is only visible/rendered correctly for me and not for other users in the organization

Scenario 2 - Using the approved Provider Originator

If I add the Originator from my approved Actionable Message Provider:


{
  "type": "AdaptiveCard",
  "version": "1.0",
  "originator": "<Provider-ID>",
  ...
}

then:

  • The card is rendered correctly for other users in the organization
  • The Action.Http button stops working
  • The request never reaches my Power Automate flow
  • Outlook returns errors such as:
    • "Unsupported token type"
    • HTTP 403 Forbidden
Most importantly, in the Outlook diagnostics payload I always see:
 
"connectorSenderGuid":"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
 
When originator isn't set via JSON then "connectorSenderGuid" is same as registered originator, otherwise guid is 00000.
 
My first Provider was created with:
 
Is this a Power Automate scenario? = No
 
I have now created a second Provider with:
 
Is this a Power Automate scenario? = Yes
 
and I'm waiting for approval to test whether that changes the behavior.

 

Has anyone encountered a similar issue?

    Hi, we encounter same problem. Feels like we tried everything we could. Did you already find a final solution?

    I am experiencing something very similar. Did you open a case with MS?

    No, I haven't found a solution, and I haven't reported the issue to Microsoft yet. But I think I will. I've run out of ideas regarding this problem.
